How can I get the result of an action and use it conditionally in my code? 
As a very simple example:

package { "wget" : ensure => 'present' }
# if that failed, do X

To put this in context, some actual use cases I have:
- attempt to register an agent to a remote service and if that fails, open 
a ticket via an API so it can be manually resolved
- attempt to create an LV and if that fails, call another module that adds 
some new LUNs to my host, extend VG etc...
- ensure some critical service is running, but in case of any error raise 
an alert via the standard alert API
- when applying some security-related code, confirm success/failure to a 
compliance product API
